TORONTO – Mondelez Canada Inc. says it’s no longer producing Jersey Milk chocolate bars.

Spokesperson Pierina De Carolis says the confectionary company’s decision to cut the product came after a portfolio review showed consumers have shifted to buying other pure milk chocolate bars like Cadbury Dairy Milk.

De Carolis says in an email that Jersey Milk was only produced in Canada.

She adds the end of its production will not result in any job cuts.

Jersey Milk dates back to 1924, when it was developed by Canadian dairy brand William Neilson Ltd.

A series of acquisitions left the bar under the purview of Mondelez International, which has a downtown Toronto Cadbury chocolate factory, employing nearly 400 workers.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 7, 2025.

Secondary scoring steps up as Jets ride 4-1-1 record into Chicago

Mike McIntyre 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:36 PM CDT

CHICAGO — It’s the type of unselfish, team-first play that can go a long way.

With the Winnipeg Jets holding a 5-2 lead over the Minnesota Wild late in the third period Tuesday night, forward Cole Koepke threw himself in front of a blistering slapshot off the stick of Daemon Hunt.

The result was painfully predictable — the puck was deflected far away from Jets goaltender Stuart Skinner, Koepke was briefly in agony as he hobbled to the bench and the crowd inside Canada Life Centre roared in approval.

“Fine. A little sore. But it’s all good,” Koepke said Wednesday following the team’s optional practice ahead of flying to the Windy City where they’ll face the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night.

Convicted harasser accused of targeting old, new victims, including judge

Dean Pritchard 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:53 PM CDT

Agnieszka Ciochon-Newton, who was sentenced to six years in prison for mercilessly harassing two people she believed had wronged her, as well as other crimes, wasted no time when her sentence ended to launch fresh attacks on victims new and old, including the judge who convicted her, court documents allege.

The 58-year-old former nurse was arrested last month after Winnipeg police “became aware that (Ciochon-Newton) was engaging in aggressive and harassing behaviours again, starting almost immediately upon the expiry of her parole conditions” on May 13, Det. Sgt Kylie Case wrote in search warrant documents obtained by the Free Press.

Ciochon-Newton is charged with seven counts of criminal harassment, two counts of uttering threats and one count each of fraud, breaking and entering, attempting to obstruct justice, intimidation of a justice official, mischief and defamatory libel. She remains in custody.

Search warrant documents say provincial court Judge Keith Eyrikson learned in late August that Ciochon-Newton had emailed CBC Manitoba days earlier and threatened him.

Crumbl cookie chain nears first Manitoba franchise unboxing

Gabrielle Piché 3 minute read Yesterday at 7:53 PM CDT

The cookie flavours are a secret for now. The promise of free cookies for a year isn’t.

Manitoba’s first Crumbl location is slated to open Oct. 23 in Winnipeg.

“It has been a long time coming,” said franchisee Kristina Bighill.

She and business partner Paulina Coombs are spending the week training 60 new staff. On opening day, Bighill is expecting around 1,500 people to walk through 1570 Regent Ave. West’s doors.

A decision with potential for ‘distraction’ and ‘disrespect’ in Transcona

Malak Abas 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:24 PM CDT

Transcona voters acknowledge they have a tough decision to make at the ballot box on election day.

The east Winnipeg working-class ward is replete with lawn signs and posters, but most of the people the Free Press spoke with said they were still undecided.

While Winnipeg is, historically, more likely to elect an incumbent, longtime councillor Russ Wyatt is seeking a sixth term while facing five criminal charges, including sexual assault and administering a noxious substance, after incidents alleged to have occurred in 2023 and 2025.

Residents are not without options. In addition to Wyatt, former councillor Shawn Nason — who occupied the city council seat from 2018-22 is on the ballot (Wyatt chose not to run in the 2018 election after taking several months off to undergo addictions treatment) — there are three new faces on the ballot: Lora Meseman, Chris Giesbrecht and Nathine Dagdick.

High-performance hockey players may soon choose more paperwork.

Rather, they’ll choose reports — detailed documents breaking down the skills they need to improve upon. True North Sports and Entertainment Ltd., the ownership company behind the Winnipeg Jets, is throwing its weight into a new business producing data-filled analyses.

“This was probably one of the most exciting things I’ve seen in skating in a long time,” said Dave Cameron, head on-ice instructor and program director of Jets Hockey Development.

Cameron, a former WHL and Canadian university forward, has taught young hockey players through Jets programs for a decade.
